Needing Extra Snacks? – Backpack Buddies is a non-profit organization which partners with local schools to provide snack bags to send home with students. Stoney Creek is very appreciative of this partnership for our students. The snack bags are delivered to the school each week and then the bags are sorted and delivered to students’ classrooms to put into their backpacks to take home. If your child(ren) are in need of nutritional support from Backpack Buddies due to limited income, please click here to fill out the form. If you have more than one child, please fill out a form for each child. For more information about Backpack Buddies, please visit https://www.backpackbuddies.ca.
